Non-union workers strike at Chicago’s O’Hare airport

CHICAGO, Nov. 29 (UPI) — Service personnel at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport will hold a strike and rally in support of a wage increase Tuesday, union officials said.

Non-unionized janitors, baggage handlers, cabin cleaners and wheelchair attendants are expected to participate in a “Day of Disruption” organized for 20 airports across the country by the Service Employees International Union, which is supporting the strikers. The Chicago Department of Aviation said it does not expect the work stoppage to affect flights.
